Nintendo unveils gorgeous new hardware and special Zelda surprise

We try to not make the news we write about too personal here at GAMINGbible. The thing is, it’s hard to do just that when you’re a Legend of Zelda fan and you see stunning new hardware.

I’ve sort of given the game away here that this new hardware isn’t the Nintendo Switch 2.

But come on now, it’s doubtful you were fooled into thinking that anyway.

You won’t have time to be disappointed by this, though, because this new hardware is exceptionally beautiful.

Better still, it comes with a rather generous Legend of Zelda inspired surprise.

Includes a 12-month #NintendoSwitchOnline + Expansion Pack Individual Membership, a $39.99 value that allows access to a collection of past The Legend of #Zelda games across Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy, Super… pic.twitter.com/pl8P5oHtZ6

The Nintendo Switch Lite: Hyrule Edition is out now, and with it comes a 12 month free subscription to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.

That’ll normally cost you £34.99, so that’s quite the boon to be thrown in for no extra cost.

Although there are several beloved Legend of Zelda titles missing from the service, there’s plenty of classics to adventure through.

Here’s all of the Legend of Zelda games currently available:

• The Legend of Zelda
• Zelda II - The Adventure of Link
• The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
• The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX
• The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
• The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
• The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
• The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

Speaking of The Legend of Zelda, have you played Echoes of Wisdom? You really need to.

Pay $209, which is roughly £163, and you’ll walk away with a gorgeous golden Switch Lite and enough Legend of Zelda games to last you into next year.

“Honestly, that’s a good way to catch new Zelda fans,” posted @Nintendologism.

“I NEEEED,” replied @SpeedLight1.

This “sexy looking Switch” has gone down a storm already, so don’t be too surprised if you go to buy it and it’s sold out.

Hopefully, it won’t be long before Nintendo restocks if that’s the case.
